I've had a 3G phone capable of video calls since 2003 when they first came out.
I've made two video calls since then, in the first few months because they were free.
My new phone doesn't do video calling, but it's no loss, really, is it.

Number of video calls made in that time: Zero

imagine a world where video calling is common place
Not only would you have to listen to an agents irritating voice but you would have to look at his spotty barrow boy face aswell

And surprise, surprise, punters thought "what a waste of time/money" and didn't use it.
This came as no surprise to seasoned professionals like me. In my time in telecomms I have seen three previous attempts to sell "video calling" (on landlines) and they all crashed into oblivion - why was mobile going to be different?

More to the point can you remember years ago when billions were paid for the license for fast mobile data... I think the idea was to sell football clips for 50p a time over it or so, only it was so tulip and poorly packaged people just watched match of the day instead.
A phone is good for speaking on, sometimes people try and take it too far imo.
